SHELBY: 3,221 PHANTOM VOTES FOUND; SAME LOCATIONS HAD UPLOADS DAY BEFORE ELECTION -
Consultants examining the Aug. 5 Shelby County election found 3,221 more votes than voters on documents provided by Shelby County elections officials pursuant to a court order.

Most voterless votes were found in large Republican precincts, a non-random distribution.

The inspection team sought and obtained documents in connection with a lawsuit filed by ten defeated candidates over irregularities in the election.

1. I'm in Shelby County
And I hope they completely uncover any and all corruption in this county. The GOP advertising was so heavy and hateful that it literally made me sick watching it, and there was no escaping it. The amount of money that the GOP spent on advertising when we had 13 people die from heat was heartbreaking. Millions and millions spent on themselves in commercials about how they were the most fiscally conservative while poor people died from the heat. Made me sick.

I wouldn't be a bit surprised to find out that there is heavy republican corruption going on. I will be hitting the phone banks starting next week to get the dems out to vote, I'm so tired of all this.

2. OMG a LARGE local church is named...
as one of the main voting locations with "problems" - Hope Presbyterian, 20 people voted, records show 619 votes.

Question for anyone who knows - what happens in a primary when there is possible corruption with the votes? What is the outcome for the winners (not surprisingly, republicans won heavily in Shelby County).

3. N_O_T_H_I_N_G remember when the same thing
happened in several counties in Ohio. Bush got thousands of votes in districts where only about 1/3 to 1/2 the people had voted. They did nothing. The boxes were locked up in a warehouse and they dared people to county them. Remember Blackwell was the voting commissioner, and he was a republican. They never did count them and I don't know what happened. Some were obvious they had a paper trail but no adjustment was made. So they will do nothing but TALK TALK TALK.

5. Remember, Blackwell was granted unsupervised access to
the main tabulator.

4. Democratic Party Obituary
The party died when the republican owned and operated voting machines stole millions of votes from Democrat Party candidates and placed those votes - electronically - in the column of the republican party candidates.

But even that wasn't enough for the republicans, they also, in order to win, had to produce millions of extra votes out of thin electronics.

Bend over and kiss your ass goodbye, democrats!!

6. Really? Is that necessary?
It is that type of attitude that is part of the problem my friend.

Rather than do as you advise, I just donated to the group that is working to uncover the corruption and shed light on the fraud.

Change doesn't happen by burying our heads up our ___ or anywhere else. Change happens when we open our eyes and say ENOUGH. And it doesn't happen overnight.

Thank you, you have given me yet more reason to raise my voice.

8. C'mon aboard, be heard!!
Was being a bit satirical there.....

Been fighting the machines for 7 years now. Progress has been slow and frustrating. And way too many folks who've wanted to push the problem under the rug. So while what I said was with satire, the message has a much too large element of truth.

Hope you really do see the need to raise own your voice about this democracy killing evolution in the way our votes are counted.
